DO WE LOVE HIM

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

1 Corinthians 2:9 

King James Version

We can tell people we love God and we can do kind things for people but God sees in our heart and He knows if we really love Him or if we're just saying it.

God proved to us how much He loves us when He gave His beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins so we can be saved. Why do I keep saying that no one loves us like God and Jesus love us and no one ever will love us like They love us? It is because of what I heard a pastor say in a sermon years ago.
The pastor said "There was an old Methodist preacher that kept preaching the same sermon over and over and someone asked him why he kept preaching it. The preacher replied and said "I'm going to keep preaching it until you get it".

That is why I keep saying no one loves you like God and Jesus love you and nobody ever will. Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that you are loved by our Heavenly Father and by our Saviour?

We know Jesus loves us. He proved how much He loves us when He allowed them to crucify Him on the cross for something He had not done. Ray Overholt wrote the beautiful heart touching hymn " He Could Have Called 10,000 Angels".

"They bound the hands of Jesus in the garden where He prayed; They led Him thro' the streets in shame. They spat upon the Savior so pure and free from sin; They said, "Crucify Him; He's to blame."
He could have called ten thousand angels To destroy the world and set Him free. He could have called ten thousand angels, But He died alone, for you and me.

Upon His precious head they placed a crown of thorns; They laughed and said, "Behold the King!" They struck Him and they cursed Him and mocked His holy name All alone He suffered everything."

We always have God and Jesus but when Jesus was crucified on the cross for your sins and for my sins He was alone. Our Heavenly Father can't look on sin so He had to turn away from His Son because Jesus had taken our sins on Him.

The next time satan attacks you and tries to discourage you by telling you Jesus doesn't love you, remember the cross and the blood our precious Saviour shed because He does love you.

Please join me in praising the "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS"! All hail, King Jesus! Worthy is the Lamb of God! I love You, dear Jesus, and I look forward with eager anticipation to the happy and joyous day when I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face.
